Company Information: At Help Lightning, we have completely reimagined how businesses, customers and employees are able to give and receive help using merged reality. We’ve eliminated the frustrations and inadequacies of phone calls or simple video chat, as well as dramatically reduced the need to drive or fly to interact in person.

Using existing mobile devices (iOS, Android) or a web-browser, experts can now visually collaborate with a colleague or customer as though they were working side-by-side.

They can telestrate, freeze images, use hand gestures, pictures, and even add real objects into the merged reality environment. With Help

Lightning, service experts can show a resolution, not just describe it, even from a thousand miles away.Learn more at helplightning.com.

The Advantage of Remote Expertise Merged Reality allows remote experts to be virtually present in a shared work environment. It’s the closest experience to actually being there.

Scientific Support:A study published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior showed that adding gestures and nonverbal clues substantially improves speed of understanding, resulting in an enhanced recipient/customer perception of overall experience. Research published in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology also indicates that nonverbal cues are 430% more effective than verbal cues and that nonverbal cues make verbal/nonverbal communication combination up to 10 times more effective.
